Bevell needs to check his ego, and get over himself. He RARELY seems to mix it up. Same crap over and over again. So incredibly predictable.

We need him in here demanding that we list five better candidates than Bevell for OC, implying that he's amazing because we can't drop those names.NFSeahawks628":z4rxdvf6 said:Don't get me started with Bevell. I've been calling for his head since last year. I just can't stand the slow starts I believe there was one or two games year that we opened up a 10+ point lead before the half but other than those two games nothing. I get that I'm spoiled with this team but considering I wasn't very much a big fan of his last year, eh, I'm probably on to something. He has got to get this offense running smoother. I don't have all the answers but Bevell, blech.
I was asleep/avoiding the drama. I don't have game review, so I can't comment on the specific offensive gameplan, but I remember one play yesterday where Tate cleared out space for an easy slant to Lockette on 3rd and 6 (?). It was good play design. Then by the end of the game, I also remember Tate and Kearse hobbling around; basically killing our WR corps. Then there was the constant pressure where Wilson didn't escape and take the easy 10 yards cleared out in the middle because he wanted to chuck it deep. I remember some deep passes going off of fingers and/or not being caught in general.
I do agree that there should have been more throws to TEs, but like I said yesterday, someone would have to check the All-22 to make sure Wilson wasn't missing those guys. I also don't understand why they didn't go back to the bubble screen more times. Bevell didn't have a great game, but then again, no one did. What worries me is that Pete's gone back to 2010 and is relying too much on deep shots and explosive plays because he doesn't want those 10-15 play drives where a turnover might happen. I mean, that's what he wants for defense, right? So he sure doesn't want that for our offense. It's like having 3 point shooters as your main stars in the NBA. When they're on, you'll kill the other team, but if they're not, you're going to look terrible all game.
Also, what I'm implying is that you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to offensive gameplanning. Just so we're clear.

Russell is short--for a starting QB. He has to find lanes to see and throw in. It's entirely possible that those lanes are more often to the sides of the field than down the middle, especially considering how much he scrambles.
Yes, play design/calling plays a part. So does pass pro. So does receivers getting open. So does the run game.
That's the point--it's not just one issue. The offense as a whole just isn't all "there" right now. If it were just one issue, Pete would have fixed it already. The fact that it's more complicated is why this is somewhat troublesome, and why Pete is clearly a bit concerned (listen to his recent shows on Brock and Danny).
We as fans can point fingers at individual players and coaches all we want, but the offense and coaching staff together are the ones who need to figure it out, hopefully soon.
The NFL is hard. Those other players and coaches are pretty good too and sometimes they'll outplay or out-coach our guys.
Enjoy the ride. Don't take it for granted.
This. We basically lost our number 1 option for the season and number 2 as good as.WCstripes":34tfmhu3 said:AbsolutNET":34tfmhu3 said:If we didn't have a QB that could scramble and throw on the run, we'd probably be near the bottom of the league in offensive production. We have no pocket passing game to speak of.
How much of a factor really is Bevell in our lack of a pocket passing game? We do not have a true no.1 wideout, and imo none of our wr get separation on a consistent basis for that type of play to work.
I know nothing but I would try shallow crosses, quick slants, a package of screens and wherever possible TE seam routes. Basically this is WHY we traded for Percy and why Sidney missing also is killing us. Both open all the other options up wide.Tical21":1hcl9w91 said:Specifics people, specifics.

He could do nothing with Favre and Adrian Peterson a line and various other pieces...
Lets start with a WR screen to Golden Tate not any other WR, because GT can make something happen even if blocking is sub par. Swing route or screen to any RB would also be nice. Releasing the tight end down the seam instead of having him block. Slants to any WR. Here are four things to try, I'm not saying they'll work but thers at least worth a TRY. If those don't work, TRY something different. At the end of the day if something fails over and over again, TRY something new.Tical21":xsb0c8m1 said:Specifics people, specifics.

Hey, I appreciate you taking a crack at it! Somebody stepping up and putting some thought into it. Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to attack the poster.
